Canadian politician Danielle Smith has called on King Charles III to stand up to Donald Trump over his threat to Annex Canada because it is a “direct confrontation” to British sovereignty.
In an interview with the Telegraph, the Prime Minister of Alberta Province said the king had a duty to confront the US president in his role as head of state.
She said, “We sing” God saves the king “every week when we are in the legislature,” Smith said. “I swear an oath to the king, our cupboards are confirmed by our oath to the king, and we have got him on our bank notes.”
“So I think he should have something to say about [Trump’s campaign to absorb Canada]Because it is, I think, a direct confrontation to British sovereignty. “
“I look forward to seeing what kind of reaction he might have,” said the prime minister, adding that Canada’s deep royal bond was one of the reasons why “why I think the notion of a 51st state is rejected by hand.”
Her interview came two days after the king visited HMS Prince of Wales at sea, the airline, the largest ship in the Royal Navy.
The monarch was depicted wearing its order for Canada, Canadian order of military profits and Canadian forces decoration medals, which according to Telegraph is an unusual grouping of medals to be carried outside the country.
